Five-Star Distance
Track 15 of Velvet Altitude
[ Lyrics ]
Five-star distance kills the spark. Suite so quiet, even silence speaks, plush carpet steps, echoing all the weeks. You kiss my neck but your eyes stay cold, like penthouse views that never feel like home. I trace the sheets where your body laid, but warmth’s long gone, just the price we paid. You say you love me in a five-star tone— smooth like silk, but I'm alone. No candlelight, no late-night talks, just room service on a ghost of flaws. We’re polished glass, no fingerprints— love lost in luxury, no real depth. Five-star distance kills the spark, even diamonds crack in the dark. We sparkle loud but nothing glows, just two souls in designer clothes. Five-star distance—can't touch this flame, fire’s out, but we play the game. You hand me roses, stems all trimmed, perfect petals, nothing pinned to sin. No sloppy laughs, no tangled hair, just Instagram moments, perfectly aware. I used to crave this kind of view, now I miss the mess, the real, the true. The way you yelled when you were mad— that felt more honest than this calm we've had. We don’t argue, we don’t stay, just float through nights in a five-star haze. Love turned into a luxury suite— expensive, clean, but not sweet. I don’t need the view, I need your voice, not the mask, but your real noise. A cracked confession, a slammed door— something real worth fighting for. Five-star distance kills the spark, even diamond hearts can go dark. We shine so bright but we don’t combust— love reduced to a gold-plated trust. Five-star distance—can’t feel this flame, I’d rather burn than play this game. Five-star distance… Kills the spark… Yeah… we’re too far apart.
